Congratulations Mayor Elect
Antonio Villaraigosa!
ExpoUpdate
would like to congratulate Mayor Elect Antonio Villaraigosa
on his landslide win for mayor of Los Angeles. "Mayor
V," as we heard someone on Front Page call him, has shown up and
has spread his good "natured-ness" liberally around our
community. We here at the Expo have long partnered with the
Latino business community and hope to continue in that vein.
Please join us in congratulating and supporting the mayor.
After our own struggles and activism in which we were successful
in witnessing four terms of an African American mayor while our
numbers were relatively small, it only seems right to
congratulate our Latino counterparts for enjoying the same
achievement. As business owners, we need to continue to
market to the Latino and other consumers if we care to grow.
Si, se puede!
Only a
few weeks left to take advantage of the discount!
Dear
Business owner:
Many potential exhibitors
approach me for a "hook-up"--for a special price reduction when
considering exhibiting. Well, the "hook-up" is in full effect
until May 31, 2005--a $100* discount off the full price of your
exhibit space. Now is the time to sign up for the Expo in
October. You will secure the best space and help us with operating
capital so we can provide the best show possible.
The King Tut Exhibition is due to
open June 16, 2005. The ethnicity of the Boy King is
being hotly contested. What is the big deal?
Why are scientists trying to reconstruct his image?
The Negroid image on the left was reconstructed about
2002. (Click it for more) The image on the right
was recently released by a team of scientists, who
assert that King Tut was Caucasoid North African.
We
interviewed Atty. LeGrand Clegg to see what
exactly is the fuss, and what is an Caucasoid North
African. Please click "Play" arrow to hear the 12

Have
you heard about McDonald’s’ new ad campaign? EUR ran an article
about the ‘McShout-outs’
floating across America’s airwaves. Apparently
Mickey D's will pay between $1 and $5 to the artist each
time his or her song is played on the air. The song must
mention the Big Mac sandwich somewhere in it. Does this
apply to comic strips, too? Aaron McGruder hopes so. His strip
The Boondocks took a shot at it.
Giving
shout-outs in song for products like Hennessey's and the
Cadillac Escalade are nothing new

Had the five year old been my kindergarten classmate at
Oklahoma City's Carter G. Woodson Elementary, her tantrum
would not have made it to the Principal's office, let alone
police or handcuffs.
Miss Garner would have dealt with the situation quickly
and decisively. If a spanking was involved, Ja'eisha would
have sobbed at her seat for a few minutes, mostly out of
embarrassment, and rejoined us at the Play-Doh table.

Beginning
June 18, 2005, a six week Black History Class will be offered to
young people, ages 12 - 16 years at View Park Preparatory High
School, 3855 West Slauson, in Los Angeles. Open to the public,
the lively two hour class will be held on Saturday mornings from
10:00am to Noon. Parent orientation will be held June 15 at
7:00pm, also at View Park Prep. The instructor is Dr. Kwaku
Person-Lynn, a professor
at Loyola Marymount University, author and historian.
"Every time I teach my adult class "Afrikan World Civilizations"
in the community, participants ask if I will
teach their young people. For years, my students went away
thinking that if the young people in their lives could know this
information, maybe it would eliminate some of the violence so I
made time to develop a course I know young people will lean on
the rest of their lives," said Dr. Person-Lynnn.
The
class will cover the Nile Valley, and the Afrikan origin of
civilization, science, mathematics, medicine, engineering,
technology, philosophy, writing and a host other disciplines
Black people have created around the world. It will cover the
Afrikan birth of humanity and look at the origin of colorism,
intra-color prejudice, and how it is practiced today. The class
will also look at the beginning of racism through the experience
of the murder of 14 year old Emmet Till, and how what happened
to a
person of their age group effected generations of American
society,” said Dr. Person-Lynn.
Since
rap/hip hop is the music of young people today, the origin and
history of its development will also be investigated. The final
session of the class will plant the seed of becoming financially
independent through starting a business, investing and other
tools towards becoming financially secure. It will be stressed
that one does not go to school to get a job, but to create a
job.
Conclusion of this class will give the students a sense of
self-identity, and self-respect. They will learn that their
ancestral family tree consisted of the founders of the
civilization we presently enjoy, including the concept of
education and the university system.
“We cannot continue
to allow our children to be taught such myths as the ancient
Egyptians were white or Columbus discovered America and other
historical distortions,” said Dr. Person-Lynn. “Most of the
material presented in the class is rarely, if ever, presented in
the present educational system, from high school to the
university. The class will give the young students a head start
in being exposed to a history and culture often ostracized in
western civilization.”

Young People” and to download the registration form, visit
